Chemex
A pour-over with a very thick filter - the cleanest cup, and the slowest.

A starting point - adjust to your beans.
That heavy filter holds back most of the oils, which is why the cup tastes so clear - and why a coarser grind than the V60 keeps it from stalling.
How to go about it
Rinse the filter thoroughly - it is thick enough to taste if you skip this.
Set the folded side towards the spout so the air can escape.
Bloom, then pour in slow spirals and let it draw all the way down.
